9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
There is a hierarchy in baked goods. It's not like I didn't know this before, but observations over the course of a week have completely proven this to me. And I've also concluded that lemon bars, no matter what, will always go last.
Our office received a tray of pastries every afternoon last week as snacks for our working group. The contents of the tray varied slightly each day, but there were always cookies, brownies and lemon bars. As you may have guessed, chocolate chip cookies barely lasted longer than it took for the delivery person to set the tray down. Oatmeal raisin cookies were gone next. Peanut butter cookies shared a distant third place with brownies. This happened every day. The same pattern, and with different people in the office, too.
Lemon bars were always last. In fact, sometimes, the delivery person who came to clean up the trays left with the tray with every single lemon bar still left.

We've got two people that make home-made lemon bars on occasion here and they get wolfed down fairly fast -- they're definately gone by the end of the day.. Of course, there is no competion from brownies, cookies or other food..

When a sugar cookie tastes bad, everyone's like, how'd you @#&^ up a sugar cookie?!? A Lemon Bar is another story. They can be too sour, too sweet, odd consistency... there is a "just right" lemon bar then there's everything else. People might want to place a more solid bet with their office sweets.
